ASSIGNMENT- LENSES

1. Convergent Lens- A converging lens is an optical lens that converges all

rays of light passing through it. The primary purpose of a converging lens is to
focus the incoming rays from an object and converge them to form an image.

2. Divergent Lens- A lens that causes a

beam of parallel rays to diverge after
refraction, as from a virtual image; a lens
that has a negative focal length.

3. Wide- Angle Lens- A wide angle lens is any lens with a short focal length
and wide field of view. This lens allows the camera to capture much more of
the scene than a normal lens can, making it great for architectural and
landscape photography.
4. Telephoto Lens- Is a long- focus lens that allows photographers to utilize
a focal length that is in fact shorter than the lens physical length.

5. Slow and fast lenses- Within all Canon lenses, there is something called
the aperture. More specifically, the mechanism that makes up the aperture is
the diaphragm, a ring of overlapping, thin metal plates that either close down
or remain open during exposure. For the sake of clarity, we refer to this
mechanism as the aperture.

6. Single lens and twin lens- Dual-lens

cameras offer more advanced features than
single-lens cameras, including improved focus,
wider camera angles, and better zoom. Dual
lenses allow for different focal length coverage
using a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens,
which is ideal for capturing both close-up and
wide-angle shots.
 7. Achromatic Lens- An achromatic lens,
also referred to as an achromat, typically
consists of two optical components
cemented together, usually a positive low-
index (crown) element and a negative high-
index (flint) element.

8.Apochromatic lens- is a shorthand for

apochromatic lenses, which can more effectively
correct spherical and chromatic aberration than
standard achromat lenses when used for photography
or other purposes.

9. Rapid- rectilinear lens- A Rapid Rectilinear

lens, or RR lens, is a symmetrical pair of cemented
achromatic doublets.

10 . Anastigmat lens- An anastigmat or

anastigmatic lens is a photographic lens
completely corrected for the three main optical
aberrations: spherical aberration, coma,
and astigmatism.
